"Upon Blighted Wings I Soar: Upon blighted wings I soar— not high, not clean, but stubbornly, through thinning light and borrowed sky. Each feather bears a history of fire, of hands that praised, then pushed, of faith that cracked like winter glass yet cut its way to air. I do not rise because I am unbroken. I rise because the fall taught me the exact shape of the ground, and how little it deserves me. The wind knows my damage by name. It does not mock. It lifts what it can and leaves the rest to ache. If this is flight, let it be flawed. If this is grace, let it limp. I am done waiting for whole wings— upon blighted wings, still, I soar."

Lyrics — “Blighted Wings (Still I Rise)” by @elkanthe

[Verse 1] I learned altitude by failure measured distance by the sound of my name leaving mouths that once said it carefully These wings were handled too often passed around, bent out of shape every feather keeps the pressure of being held, then dropped [Pre-Chorus] I don’t move because I’m untouched I move because I remember impact [Chorus] On blighted wings, still I rise not clean, not lifted, not untouched I don’t need them whole to move I don’t need permission from the ground On blighted wings, still I rise [Verse 2] The air doesn’t ask for stories it just tests what I can hold takes what weight I can manage lets the rest pull at the joints I stopped asking for repair stopped naming every ache some things work exactly as they are once you stop apologizing [Pre-Chorus] I don’t move because it’s easy I move because I already fell [Chorus] On blighted wings, still I rise not clean, not lifted, not untouched I don’t need them whole to move I don’t need permission from the ground On blighted wings, still I rise [Bridge] I spent years waiting for new wings as if these ones failed their job but they carried me through hands through weight, through impact [Breakdown] This isn’t triumph this is refusal [Final Chorus] On blighted wings, still I rise not clean, not lifted, not untouched I don’t need them whole to move I don’t need permission from the ground On blighted wings, still I rise [Outro] Still moving
